One of the series of questions surrounding Ghana’s intake of the two Gitmo detainees, who were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for almost 14 years has been answered.
After it emerged that Ghana has accepted to house two Al-Qaeda linked Gitmo detainees who were once said to be a threat to United States’ national security, Ghanaians have been panicking, with many asking; what did the US pay Ghana’s government to enter into such a seemingly risky deal.
Today, the Head of Public Affairs Section of the US Embassy in Ghana, Daniel Fennel has disclosed in an exclusive interview on Adom FM’s Morning Show, ‘Dwaso Nsem’ that;
“No, not directly…US would help with a small amount to support housing and food…,” he replied to the question of whether Ghana was enticed financially to accept to host the ex-Guantanamo Bay prisoners.
Following the panic and social media chaos about Ghana having agreed to resettle two Gitmo prisoners who were held at the bay for almost 14 years in a deal with United States, the US Embassy in Ghana has stepped in to assure Ghanaians not to be worried.
The Embassy has said that “…If they were seen as active in AI Qaeda in the past, over the course of time they are no longer active in that area. We don’t think Ghana is doing anything dangerous to invite any attacks from terrorists.”
Speaking to KasapaFm this morning, the Counselor for the US Embassy in Ghana Daniel Fennell said “all the security implications have been cleared concerning the two ex-detainees of the Guantanamo Bay, hence Ghana won’t be at risk housing them.”
